One of the most promising gene transfer vectors in human clinical trials is AAV2. The quality of the vector preparations is a key element in obtaining reliable and reproducible data in preclinical studies. However, established protocols either result in impure, low infectious virus (CsCl2 gradient centrifugation) or demand a high level of manual and technical skills (CsCl2 gradient centrifugati...

BACKGROUND Hydrophobic interaction chromatography (HIC) most commonly requires experimental determination (i.e., scouting) in order to select an optimal chromatographic medium for purifying a given target protein. Neither a two-step purification of untagged green fluorescent protein (GFP) from crude bacterial lysate using sequential HIC and size exclusion chromatography (SEC), nor HIC column sc...

The interconversions of C1-substituted folates form the core of plant one carbon metabolism. An analytical method for extraction, purification and liquid chromatography−electrospray-ionization mass spectrometry detection of low level, labile tetrahydrofolate monoglutamates from Arabidopsis thaliana was developed in this study. Under gold fluorescent light, folates were extracted by homogenizing...

heparin was isolated from whole clam tissue marcia opima . purification of multimilligram quantities of heparin from this tissue sample permitted a thorough examination of its anticoagulant activity characterization, which was partially purified by fractionation by anion exchange chromatography using deae cellulose column. the isolated crude and partially purified fractionated sample showed met...

     Essential oil of the orange peel which was extracted by hydrodistillation method showed 50 different mono- and sesquiterpenes on GC-MS analysis, in ...

INTRODUCTION Pituitary autoantibodies can be determined both in patients with pituitary disease as well as patients with autoimmune endocrine diseases. The purpose of the study was to isolate and purify pituitary autoantigen using sera of patients and the microsomal fraction of the pituitary. MATERIAL AND METHODS To isolate a pituitary autoantigen, patient sera were used, which showed a stron...

In this paper we describe a simple, fast, one-step method for the purification of the skeletal-muscle ryanodine receptor. The ryanodine receptor from CHAPS-solubilized junctional sarcoplasmic-reticulum membranes was adsorbed to a spermine-agarose column and eluted by 2 mM-spermine. The purified receptor, consisting predominantly of a 450 kDa polypeptide on SDS/PAGE, binds [3H]ryanodine with a s...

In this work, an improved single-column chromatographic (ISCC) separation process is proposed. The term `improved' refers to both conceptual and physical modifications compared to the available single-column processes, including a novel fraction collection scheme and allowing overlapped peaks from adjacent cycles. Also the fraction collection mechanism was modified in order to facilitate online...

developed a procedure, based on the affinity of all three enzymes for Cibacron Blue 3GA, which allows their simultaneous purification from a cell extract. E. coli K 12, EMG-2 was grown, harvested and disrupted as described by Miller & Stadtman (1972). After treatment with 1% (w/v) streptomycin sulphate, the cell extract was subjected to ammonium sulphate fractionation. The protein fraction prec...
